Taking place at the
Regent’s Veranda on January 21, 2014, KPP, which was represented by its HR
Director Mrs. Tri Yuli Adriana, officially delivered ABUN program to the Tapin
Regent, Drs. H. Arifin Arpan, M.M., which was witnessed by the Education
Service Head, Drs. H. Juwaini, M.Pd.

PT
Kalimantan Prima Persada and the Tapin Regency Regional Government have since
last year organized an education program CSR - ABUN (Anak Berkualitas Untuk Negeri (Quality Children for the Country)). This
program is aimed at improving the Local Resources’ quality, especially in terms
of character. With the completion of this ‘character-based education
prototype’, it is hoped that it can be continued and give more benefits to the
whole area of Tapin Regency, in specific, and the South Kalimantan, in general,
and the company could hand over the execution of further program of the kind to
the government.

In
a nutshell, this prototype program was held at junior high school SMPN 1 Candi Laras
Selatan, Tapin Regency. The program included an integrated change to the
students, teachers and environment of the school. The main purpose was to
create a “POSITIVE, PROACTIVE, and PRESTATIF generation.

The
changes successfully made include an environmental change program, which was
aimed at building the involvement and sense of belonging of all teachers and
students so that they care about the environment, have a sense of
responsibility and have discipline to always maintain it as it will give a
feeling of comfort and fun in teaching and learning processes.

The
other significant changes include an increase in the quality of the ways
teachers teach the students, such as applying discipline to students
affectionately, interactive and fun teaching methods, closer and warmer
communication between teacher and student and an improvement in the teachers’
class management.

And
the most important thing, as the impact, is the change in student’s character,
such as more positive in dealing with problems, more proactive in doing
assignments and tasks and actively pursuing achievement in all areas. This has
been proven by the making of one achievement to the other by the SMPN 1 Candi
Laras Selatan at Regency level, such as winning traditional dance (Tari Rudat) competition and English
Debate.

For
such achievement in the CSR education program mentioned above, KPP received an
award from the Tapin Regent for the implementation of the “ABUN” education
program in Tapin Regency, on the National Education Day, May 2, 2013. In addition, the ABUN Program also gained
recognition for its effective method by the Tapin Regional Government, in this
case the Education Service.

Further,
it is hoped that the quality of the local resource potentials will continue to
increase and encourage the economic growth in Tapin Regency, in particular, and
in South Kalimantan, in general.
